This volume investigates Paul Tillich’s relationship to Asian religions and locates Tillich in a global religious context. It appreciates Tillich’s heritage within the western and eastern religious contexts and explores the possibility of global religious-cultural understanding through the dialogue of Tillich’s thought and East-West religious-cultural matrix.
